Molecular Typing of Burkholderia mallei Isolates from Equids with Glanders, India

Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Jun;27(6):1745-1748. doi: 10.3201/eid2706.203232.ABSTRACTWe collected 10 Burkholderia mallei isolates from equids in 9 districts in India during glanders outbreaks in 2013-2016. Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis showed 7 outbreak area-related genotypes. The study highlights the utility of this analysis for epidemiologically tracing of specific B. mallei isolates during outbreaks.PMID:34013856 | DOI:10.3201/eid2706.203232
